[HipChick]

Members of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee have reportedly been informed of unspecified allegations against Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, President Trump's pick to the lead the VA, posing a new roadblock for his nomination.

The Washington Post reported Monday evening that the Senate panel is delaying a confirmation hearing for Jackson previously scheduled for Wednesday as members look into the new claims.

Two sources told CNN that Republicans and Democrats on the committee have been informed of allegations of improper conduct at more than one stage in the career of Jackson, who currently serves as White House physician

1. And here I thought his outrageous claims of trumps fittest man to ever live would have been enough.

What’s the issue they finally got him on?

[HipChick]

3. There's an update that states allegations are drinking on the job, improper dispensing of meds

and creating a hostile workplace...but hey, Trumpie picks the best people

[boston bean]

8. A mean pill peddling alkie. Great.

[Hokie]

2. He is a lying piece of crap - good riddance - NT

[mucifer]

4. Rachel said it's still unverified but, It could be drinking on the job and impoper

dispensing of medications

She said that was from CBS not verified from NBC

[HipChick]

6. To be fair though...if you had to work for that Orange blob...

[Corgigal]

7. Yeah,

I just heard that via CBS news. Drinking on the job.

Great, and I only have the VA for another 6 years. Scary..

9. The actual wording was, EXCESSIVE drinking on the job...as opposed to just, you know,

drinking on the job. (!!!?!?) plus, dispensing meds.

!!!! Hey, I don’t even know this guy’s name and I don’t think it matters much, eh? Even if he landed this gig, he’d probably only be around 2-3 weeks, so what’s the point?!?

Have Mercy!!!!!

15. How about his improper/ fraudulent diagnosis

Of a President by his personal physician. He lied to the American people about the health of this president. One only needs a quick glance at the man or a listen to to see his failing health.

5. Rachel says CBS has a breaking report

Drinking on the job and something about medications for WH staff

[HipChick]

12. I bet Don the Con blackmailed him to provide that glowing report

that we all know was BS...

[greatauntoftriplets]

14. Maybe he's Dr. Borenstein's long-lost son.

[Adrahil]

10. No wonder he likes Donnie Two-scoops so much.... birds of a feather. NT

[VOX]

11. Ronny Jackson -- the TrumpTeam's Doctor Feelgood?

It kinda sounds that way.

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. What with Spanky's "war on opioids", this underlines the regieme's hypocrisy.

Didn't they vet this guy? It's no wonder he told so many lies about Spanky's height, weight and health.

Our veterans deserve better.

16. .

[Cha]

17. The 239lbs guy.. shocking

[Ilsa]

18. A pill mill is operating in the west wing?

No wonder he is such a popular guy there. I wonder who ratted him out?

He was so jubilant the day he was behind the podium, lying to the world that trump's BMI was 29.999, just overweight, not obese, and that he is super healthy, even though he takes medications for high cholesterol, etc. I can't help but hope he goes away.
